The impending sale of GitHub to Microsoft is another example of what happens when we fixate on #opensource IP but not equitable corporate ownership models. How *should* the repository of most free, open software projects be owned?
@ntnsndr It should be distributed and federated, on a model not disimilar to ActivityPub.
What Github (and Freshmeat and Sourceforge before it) give us is convenient discovery. We need a distributed mechanism for convenient discovery.
